Is there a hermetic endgame in Buddhist traditions, where they secretly fix the student's epistemology and truth criteria (~Kegan 4), after they deliberately kept the student at Kegan 3 to use authority for fixing the student's motivational structure (~Kegan 5)? @Meaningness
Stage 4 does give you more control, because you do take beliefs and emotions as object, rather than subject. However, your self (subject) is structured by principles you take over from your culture; you can’t construct those from scratch.

Rationalism/empiricism is one possible stage 4 structure.

Could you somehow prove that there is no optimal learning theory, or do you derive your rejection of rationalism just from your difficulty to find it?

Have you proven that? Or is it just a pragmatic assumption that seems plausible to you?
